MattMo1981 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It currently has 47k mi on it. I bought it used this past summer, one-owner lease. Recently I had some trouble starting it. I drove it for about 15 minutes and then was sitting in a parking lot with the motor off, key was in the on position for 10 minutes. Had the headlights off, basically just the stereo was playing. When I tried to start it, it turned over, then quickly stalled out. The second time I tried and the same thing happened. The third time I gave it a little gas and the motor stayed running. Gas tank was nearly full at the time. Haven't had it happen since. I took it to the dealership where I bought it as it's still under their warranty. They couldn't duplicate the issue (of course). Couldn't find anything troublesome when they used the code reader. Any idea what the problem may be? I've also noticed occasionally that it idles a bit rough when in park and the rpms sometimes dip to around 600. Could an idle adjustment be needed? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Da Roo Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Could be the idle air control (iac) valve. Had to replace that before on my 2000 olds alero when I had that car years ago with the same symptoms Sent from my LG-H871 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
